| Museo Correr | ||||||||||||||
| The
design and initial building work on the Napoleonic Wing dates from
the years when Venice was part of that Kingdom of Italy (1806-1814)
of which Napoleon was sovereign and his stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais,
was Viceroy. The Museum is laid out in various sections that offer
a fascinating insight into the Art and History of Venice. The first
section occupies the Napoleonic Wing itself, a nineteenth-century
palace for kings and emperors; here the sumptuous Neo-classical
Rooms house a noteworthy collection of works by the greatest sculptor
of the age, Antonio Canova (1757-1822). Then, one passes into the
Procuratie Nuove, which were designed by the architect Vincenzo
Scamozzi (1552-1616) and once housed some of the most important
civic authorities within the Republic of Venice. The spacious rooms
now contain collections that document various aspects of Venetian
History – from daily life to public instutions, from naval
achievements to local festivities. |
